I reset my flyer... twice tonite... the second time I got stuck on the HTC splash screen. The first time I did it because greader, would not respond. The second time I did it because I was trying to use the old time radio app and it would not load a story. I had had the same problem over the weekend and resetting it solved it. This is the second time that it has gotten stuck like this and I really hate the idea of having to factory reset it, to get it to act right.
My first question is is there anyway to backup all the applications that I have stored in it, to a memory card or to the computer? My second question is ... is this a common problem?
First , no its not common, unless you are overclocking
Second, what ROM are you running? Stock or Custom? Version?
Stock rom, with the latest update. I hate that I have to reload everything every time this happens

I have no idea what's going on with my XDA II. I have not done anything to modify or upgrade it recently. But suddenly the phone froze one day. I tried doing a soft reset but the phone just shut off. Kept pushing power button but nothing worked.
I then tried a hard reset which didn't work either. I finally just removed the battery and the sim card and then replaced them. My phone finally booted up and went through the standard hard reset sequence. I restored my backup information into the phone. Later on it froze again...with the same problem.
I finally got my phone working, but it freezes almost everytime I try to do something. When i do a reset, whether hard or soft, I get stuck at the boot screen with nothing happening. I reset it about 8 or 9 times before i get back into the phone and go through the intro to WM2003 again.
When i do get in, i can maybe make a call or two before the phone freezes up again. Don't know what to do, but really confused. I was going to contact o2 because the phone is still under warranty. However, I have upgraded to the TMobile 1.6 rom.
If anyone has any suggestions on how to fix this please let me know. If not, does anyone have the original o2 rom that I could get a hold of? Thanks for all the help in advanced.
Does the phone freeze after you restore backup or does it do it even when you use it from scratch after hard reset?
It freezes no matter what. Most of the time, it'll refuse a hard reset. I would reset it, hard reset it and the phone will just load up on the Tmobile screen and stay there. Sometimes i'll get that circle thing that shows the phone is doing a process...but it'll go in circles forever.
Sometime down the line it'll actually let me through. Then i'd do the whole WM2003 intro again.
So to answer that question, it's not only on my restore, the phone consistently freezes up.
Looks like it's time to avail of the warranty and have your phone replaced.
I know, but in order to do that I have to get the original rom because i'm on tmobile 1.6 rom.
Mate, did you try to reinstall the 1.6 rom? Maybe download the latest ROM version and try to install it from your dead device...
My phone is just freezing on the boot screen and sometimes i can actually get in and use the phone for a while. Does this still constitute it as dead?
Since I can't get past the boot screen most of the time, I can't connect the phone to the computer to install the 1.6 rom again.
However, I did get past the boot screen once and did manage to sync it with my computer and reinstall the 1.6 rom. No help...same problem...
Ok, i finally got in and managed to update the rom to the new O2 rom. Everything was working fine for a long time. I used the phone and no problems. I left the phone on the sync cradele over night and by morning the phone was frozen. Reset and getting stuck at boot again...
ANyone have any ideas?
i also get this problem.
I have found many ppl got this problem, but no one has solution.
so what is everyone doing about it?

use the proven process of elimination, have you installed something recently?
a Manila Mod, or tweak? I hope you have a backup of everything essential
on your device, as it may that you need to HR
maybe its only a dead sd card..
take out sdcard, sim card and battery for a few minutes and reinsert only the battery and try to boot up...
if this doesnt work, you'll need an hard reset..
so i kept resttiing until it booted up. then i saw these posts and decided to restart the phone and it doesnt work again. so i reset again an pressed the talk button then it went to the launching sense screen. me being a gambler i reset it again and it stalled again until i hit the talk button. now i reset it a couple of more times and its back to loading normal on its own. im only stating everything i did just in case someone else might come across this problem at some time. thanks for you guys quick response and help
Try a full reinstall using the flashaholic app that does a full OS ROM format, also backup any files on the SD card and reformat that too and see what happens.
I should add that the full "task 29" format thing probably wont work well unless you have HSPL installed (otherwise you have to first install a stock ROM, then SSPL install your custom ROM; kind of defeats the point of the full format!)
I updated the Flyer through the system menu. It was a small file that downloaded. When it restarted it got stuck in a boot loop where the you would get the white screen with green HTC lettering. It would do the jingle then reboot. Called tech support. They had me do a factory reset. Fixed it. 9 days later. I restarted the tablet and got the same problem. Did another factory reset. Fixed it. Called HTC. They said they can't do anything unless I send them the tablet while it is stuck in boot loop.
It is not rooted. I haven't done anything special with it. Anybody have any clue what might be going on or how I can prevent it from happening again? Or know any apps that could help me figure out what is happening?
Thanks!
Turn on usb debugging and leave it on, then use adb to connect when it goes into a loop and grab the output from logcat. We will probably be able to help you if you can do that.
I had the same thing happen to me yesterday, only the rep said there was nothing to do to fix it. They said it was a known bug. I was able to do a factory reset by plugging in the usb adapter and then power + down vol. Without the adapter, it would continue to reboot even after a factory reset. So far it has worked. I was surprised that the rep did not have me even try anything to solve the problem, but hey.
I had the same problem before updating to Globatron's HC leak. Seemed to happen after rebooting, (almost every time. Got to the point that I decided to never turn it off again) and a factory reset was the only solution. Since HC, the problem hasn't happened once.

I had the same problem after the 2.27 update(Never happened before the update.) It would just be random, not all the time (only after a restart, I would always cross my fingers and rub my rabbits foot.) I got into a habit of Nandroid Backing up the device at least once a week, as the problem would occur more than once a month.
I just upgraded to HC a couple of days ago, I have yet to have it happen.
Thanks for the suggestions and sharing. It's good to know I'm not the only one with this issue. I am really tempted to root and go to Honeycomb now. I was trying to keep everything stock until HTC moved it to Honeycomb. If HTC could write software that didn't screw me over, I would be more than happy to be patient for the official update.
Hi
I have a similar issue. I rolled back the device from HC to GB stock rom and I am on the last updated GB stock rom. It is just randomly restarts and I cannot see the reason why? Sometimes after a day or 2. Before this started the sense was randomly freezing and I couldnt do anything just restart. I got taskiller on and this looks like sort out the freezing issue I have over 300 mb memory free most of the time but I have this random restart now.
Is there any way I can diagnose or check in a log file what is the reason for these random restarts?
thx

Yes, like globatron mentioned in the second post, turn usb debugging on (in settings - applications - development) and leave it on until you encounter another bootloop. While the device is bootlooping connect it to your pc and use adb logcat. If you can post the output here someone might be able to help.

Hi there,
sorry for using this old thread, but I am having the same problem with my Flyer running Android 2.3.4.
Today I've done nothing with it, just let the battery drain, to make a full recharge. Want to restart it, and: Bootloop. This f*ing melody drives me crazy already!
I've connected it to my laptop, creating a logcat-file. I will edit this post if its ready.
But I am wondering why this happens. There wasn't an update (even if if there whould be: I am rooted, so I couldn't install) and in my opinion I've done nothing special since the last reboot a few days ago.
I've done a backup via CWM, but don't want to perform a Factory Reset because the last backup is... already a few months ago.
... How long does it need to create the logcat-File? I wrote this whole text while he is still writing...
Edit: Haha. It will never end. Have created a 42MB .txt-File.
I've shorten it, until the first repeat of a row. But it is still to long for insertig here, it is attached.
Edit 2: Is there an Option to perfom a backup via adb? "adb backup" doesn't work with Android 2.3, And I haven't found a solution for "adb pull" to copy a complete partition.
Some of you might have seen my earlier thread, my ReZound is rooted. HTC sent out the ICS update my phone attempted to install it and afterwards it would not advance past the white HTC screen. After many hours of playing around with it (being semi-noobish to all things rooting, but decently knowledable with technology) I realized that on the H-boot screen it was telling me that the Image was missing. I assumed that the HTC update deleted it? After thinking about it, I thought that maybe installing a custom ROM would fix this, so I grabbed Scotts Clean ROM. Sure enough I did and I was finally able to advance past the white HTC screen. It looks as if everything is working fine with the phone now EXCEPT I have no data and no calling connection. Im assuming that my phone is just that messed up from the attempted upgrade this morning that im missing files needed for the connection.
My next thought was to just say heck with it and do a factory reset hoping to get back to a bone stock phone that at least functioned, but when I try the factory reset it doesnt work....
Any ideas of what I should do next? Ive spent 5-6 hrs trying to fix this phone today, I really hope to get something figured out. Thank you everyone for your help!
EDIT: I feel like an idiot... Because of putting the battery in and out for resets I left the back off the phone. I now have service. Main issue now is that when I try to call out, as soon as I type a number on the dialer it freezes up and restarts itself....
The phone still tries to look for the old image on the restart and gives me issues every time on startup still also. Id like to be able to get this back to not needing a ROM....
If it were me, I would download the official RUU for ICS found here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/ IIRC, mirror #3 was the fastest. Then follow the directions from that site:
After downloading the file, rename it to "PH98IMG.zip" (no quotes)
Place the renamed file onto the root of the SD Card
Power down your device
Reboot into the bootloader by holding VOL DOWN + Power
The flashing process should begin automatically
Let the device reboot, and you should be done.
That will get you up and running. Then you can go about rooting it again if you like.
ok, here comes the story.
i know you guys hate when we open new forums, but this here is a topic that i have been dealing with since about 2 weeks ago.
also, i wanted to thank you all for your help,ever since than...
the problem started as i said, few weeks ago. i have an s2, i tried to install a rom, and an error occued. the problem was know that i needed to factory reset and wipe the data from the phone in order to boot the phone. this was not possible due to an internal error (i got sucked), later on, i also discover that the problem i faced was due to the partions inside my phone.so, i tried to fix the partions, but i was unable,until i found a thread here dealing with the same problem on Note 2. so after a lot of work, i was able to repartion my internal memory (lost 6 GB) to fix partions 9, and 10. once that was done i was able to wipe data and factory reset.the problem was now that i was unable to install any rom using odin except CM10 which stucked also at the end of the process. but luckily for me i was able to get into the recovery of CM10 and i installed from the restriction remix rom. after wiping and factory reset, i was finally able to boot successively into the home-screen.
now, my phone seams to have swamped the internal and external memories. in the build in device manager of rr-rom, i only see my memory card labeled as internal. but this is not the big deal. the real problem is that this phone constantly keeps on restarting itself from time to time. so, it shut down from alone, tries to boot up, gets stucked at the logo, reboots itself several time in the same way, until in finally boots successively,
any help??
ah, i just wanted to add a funny fact, which is that on the day i fixed my phone,i accidently dropped it in the toilet (it fall from my pocket, no bad ideas please, it was fully at random from alone). i manged to save it also at that day. so, i some got a feeling that this phone just don't want to get repaired
Reinstall stock rom and start from scratch.

Well I have seen some ridiculous generic topic titles in my time (like "Help" and "Help please" etc) but this topic with its complete lack of a title just takes the crown as the most idiotic.
